Though my hair is straightened, I knew very well that many naturals have this problem of everyone being curious and touching their hair, yet I couldn’t help but touch my friend’s hair when she did the big chop. I just had to feel it! Now I regret it. She was obviously tired of everyone touching, though I think she let me pass since I know hair and did it pretty lightly

I’ve been there too! Knowing I don’t like it when ppl touch my hair… I think it’s more admiration and appreciation when it’s a natural to another natural… Like, “Girl, I understand the struggle” type thing. And it’s gorgeous! Lol

I totally understand. It makes me feel uncomfortable too. Although I do try to understand that sometimes it’s just out of curiosity. What happened with the 4C goddess definitely taught me that :)

Thank you! I have thought about it many times :) I think that because 1- it would be a lot of work and investment and 2- they are already available online for free so I’m not 100% sure people would be interested in buying it, I haven’t find enough motivation yet? But maybe I will ^_^

I don’t mind so much when it’s other natural girls as we have some shared experiences as “people of highly textured hair and colour” but it’s a rage inducing micro-aggression and boundary cross when it’s ‘others’
